Normal & Not

“Most people are not lunatics,” Tucker Carlson reminded viewers last night on his Fox News program, adding that “normal people don’t like this.”

By “this,” the conservative television host meant what can only be described as an attack on his home by Smash Racism DC, an Antifa-like group comprised of people who are not normal.

Carlson wasn’t home Wednesday night, nor were his four young children, thank goodness, but his poor wife was. After hearing shouting and a man throwing himself into their front door so hard that he cracked it, she locked herself in a pantry and called 911.

“But it wasn’t a home invasion,” The Washington Postreported. “It was a protest.”

“What are they protesting?” asked Mr. Carlson. “They’re not trying to change my mind. They’re trying to threaten my family to get me to stop talking.”

The Carlson’s home and cars were vandalized by the mob of about 20 hoodlums. There were also chants of “Racist scumbag, leave town!” and “Tucker Carlson, we will fight! We know where you sleep at night!”

“Mail bomb,” one man shouted. And, of course, they doxxed Tucker Carlson by publishing his home address for the possible benefit of the next James Hodgkinson or any mail-bomber.

Instead of focusing on the political divide or the fear of further violence, a vacationing Tucker Carlson called in to his show last night to express gratitude . . . for an outpouring of concern, support, solidarity from across the political and media spectrum, expressing that it has “actually been really nice and affirming.”

Enough normal goodness remains in America, spread throughout the political spectrum, to unite us . . . at least against such behavior.

“Enough normal goodness remains in America, spread throughout the political spectrum, to unite us . . . at least against such behavior.”

But is goodness enough? The history of the human race is filled with good, peaceful communities being overtaken by vocal, violent thugs.

Police were called to the home but no arrests were made. Why? The Post said it wasn’t a home invasion but attempted breaking and entering is still a crime. How is trespassing and vandalism, combined with verbal threats, not malicious mischief? Making verbal threats is not free speech. But it all depends on whose ox is being gored, right?
Is investigation ongoing? Will arrests be made? If not, why not?

That he is a conservative should be beside the point, where police are concerned. The police are violating his and his family’s right to equal protection under the law. The entire neighborhood should sue the city for its failure to uphold the law.
He should sue Smash Racism for damages to his home and quality of life. The entire neighborhood should join him in that suit. All of them are at risk, now. There is no guarantee that any violence directed against him, like a fire or a pipe bomb, will not spread to other homes. This group is a menace to the community and must be dealt with. If the police won’t do it, the department should be disbanded and its members dismissed.
